Prerequisites#

• NodeJS 20.x
• Git

Local Development#

Updating your local copy with git pull -r to rebase your local commits on top of upstream, makes the main easy to follow and merges less difficult.

1. Clone the repo

    git clone https://github.com/excaliburjs/sum-monsters.git
   

2. Navigate into the root directory sum-monsters in your favorite command line tool

3. Run the install to download the tools:

    `npm install`
   

4. Build the project:

    `npm run build`
   

5. Run the game locally with parcel:

    `npm start`
   

6. Make your changes, commit directly to the 'main' branch, update your local copy with git pull -r, and then push to the remote repository.

7. If you run into weird caching issues where your updates aren't showing up when you run the game locally, stop the game and run npm run clean to clean out the /dist and the /.parcel-cache folders.

Debugging tools#

You can use the Excalibur chrome extension to help with debugging.
